After hearing Afu's words, Bai Qi was speechless. Fortunately, he had stopped him, otherwise this stubborn boy would have really intended to fight a whole group by himself.
Bai Qi said, "Our mission is not to tangle with these trash. Hurry up and find the location of the Hell Gate."
With that, Bai Qi raised his hands slightly, a ferocious glint in his eyes, and the next moment, a surge of psychic power like a tide blasted towards the approaching guards.
The Zephyr guards at the forefront were the first to be affected. Under the impact of psychic power, their bones and internal organs began to rupture. Then, the psychic power swept through the entire guard force.
In just an instant, all the Zephyr guards' bones and internal organs shattered, blood was squeezed out of their bodies, and they all died without exception.
"His Majesty has become even more terrifying."
Looking at the Zephyr guards who were annihilated in an instant, Afu sighed inwardly. However, what he felt more was a yearning for this powerful force, a desire to possess it as his own.
Bai Qi saw all of this, of course.
If it were a typical villain, seeing his subordinate harboring such strong desires, they would strike first to eliminate him, fearing that he would threaten their position after gaining more power. But Bai Qi wouldn't; he would even be happy about it.
After all, having a powerful and capable subordinate meant Bai Qi wouldn't have to do everything himself.
As for whether Afu would surpass him.
That was a joke.
Not to mention the vast difference between humans and primal demons, the pain Bai Qi endured was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Guided by the Pan Ku Treasure Box, Bai Qi, along with Afu and the异魔 (Yimo), fought their way to the royal palace. Everyone who dared to resist along the way was mercilessly eliminated by Bai Qi, without exception.
Arriving at the royal palace hall, Bai Qi looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and turned to Afu, asking, "Have you found the location of the Hell Gate?"
Afu searched with the Pan Ku Treasure Box and said, "Your Majesty, according to the Pan Ku Treasure Box's prompt, the Hell Gate should be beneath our feet, but........"
Afu crouched down and tapped the hard ground with his hand, saying, "We need to find a way down."
As soon as Afu finished speaking, he saw Bai Qi raise his fist.
Afu's heart tightened violently. Without any hesitation, he retreated more than ten meters behind him.
As it turned out, Afu had the foresight.
Bai Qi's fist landed on the hard ground with a deafening roar. The ground, centered on Bai Qi's fist, began to shatter inch by inch in all directions. The speed and range were so great that even though Afu had retreated more than ten meters, he was still almost affected.
With this punch, Bai Qi directly smashed through a stone slab more than five meters thick. Looking down, they saw a spacious secret chamber and the old king and queen hiding inside.
Bai Qi leaped down and looked at the old king before him with a playful smirk, taunting, "Little fellow, your subjects are fighting to the death for you. Is it appropriate for you to be hiding here with your woman?"
The old king's face was ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, indicating extreme anger. However, facing Bai Qi, the great demon, he did not dare to make any move.
After all, the difference in strength between them was vast. If they were to fight, he would surely die. Sultan Novel Network.
It wasn't that the old king was afraid of death. Having ruled Zephyr for so many years without external help, maintaining domestic stability and no riots, the old king was undoubtedly a capable figure in this regard.
His own death was not important. If this person were to release Basha from hell, all seven kingdoms of Atlantis would have to bear Basha's wrath, and Zephyr, as the point of release, would be the first to suffer.
To prevent this from happening, the old king, upon entering the secret chamber, decisively sent distress signals to the other kingdoms and the few countries on the surface. His current task was to stall for time as much as possible, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Bai Qi easily saw through the old king's intentions but did not expose them. Instead, he went along with the plan and began examining the secret chamber.
"Oh my, truly remarkable. Truly remarkable. Atlantis still has one or two capable individuals."
This secret chamber was no simple matter.
After sealing Basha, the Atlanteans still felt uneasy. To prevent their creator from returning and unleashing her wrath upon them, the rebellious ones, a large number of Atlantean mages performed a vast number of magical calculations. They discovered the location of the Hell Gate and, using it as a center, created a kingdom, leaving a branch of their lineage as gatekeepers, guarding it for generations.
This secret chamber was the initial starting point, designed with numerous magical restrictions to prevent external invasions.
However, Bai Qi was too violent. His punch not only shattered the ground more than five meters thick but also pulverized the magical restrictions that embodied the wisdom of ancient Atlantean civilization.
On the walls of this secret chamber were not only depictions of ancient Atlanteans jointly sealing Basha but also records of many ancient Atlantean spells.
Although these spells were of no use to Bai Qi now, it didn't prevent him from recording them to enrich the collection in the Magic Academy's grand library.
The Holy Lord was a fire demon and excelled at fire magic. Coupled with his poor relationship with Basha and his natural aversion to water, he could neither learn nor use water magic. Even when Bai Qi later had the Shadow Ninjas collect magic from around the world, including water magic, it was only the water magic researched by terrestrial mages, which was vastly inferior to the ancient Atlantean magic, which was steeped in water.
Seeing Bai Qi pilfering the precious heritage left by their ancestors, the old king was furious but dared not speak.
However, the items on the walls were limited, and most of them were historical records of little use to Bai Qi. The ancient Atlantean magic was quickly recorded by Bai Qi.
Having completed the recording, Bai Qi looked at the old king and said, "Little fellow, do you have any other tricks? If so, you should use them quickly, or you won't have a chance later."
Seeing Bai Qi so insult the King of Zephyr, the queen beside him couldn't stand it any longer. Magical patterns appeared on her body, and several octopus tentacles emerged from under Bai Qi's feet, wrapping around him. Then, a giant manta ray formed from water magic appeared behind her, and under the queen's control, it lunged towards Bai Qi.
The queen's combination of attacks was indeed impressive. Even on land, with this water magic, she would be considered at the forefront of the second tier of combatants, if not the first.
Unfortunately, her opponent this time was Bai Qi. Her octopus tentacles and manta ray were nothing more than flashy and useless.
With a slight flick of Bai Qi's finger, both the manta ray and the tentacles exploded simultaneously. The queen, under the backlash of the magic, also fell unconscious.
